Is there a minimum bid? Yes, the minimum bid is 1 months rent for the unit at auction. This is usually $79 or $125.
Do you require a deposit to bid? Only winning bidders are required to provide a deposit in addition to the monies due for the winning bid.
What is the deposit required? The deposit is $100 for a 10X10 unit and $200 for a 10X20 unit.
What form of payment do you take at auction? All auction payments and deposits must be paid in cash. You will be given a receipt. Failure to pay winning bid and/or deposit cancels your bid.
